I'm nearing the end of Black Earth Rising on Netflix. It's so very interesting ... about the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide and international law. It's fabulous to see Africa being represented as it is in this series ... such complexity.

The movie, I thought, wow, such a lot of special effects, amazing, a bit like star wars underwater, all the different kingdoms underwater, and types that live there,but....it just became all too much with the graphics and special effects, a bit of overkill.....maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind for too much happening in a movie.I wish it was a bit slower paced so I could 'take in' all the brilliant special effects.

Up to you to judge, let me know what you think when you watch it.

I did not see Aquaman but the overabundance of FX to sell a movie is poor.

Give me a movie with a story and a message please.eg, Clint Eastwoods movies as a director are of a high quality. Low on FX if any

So, having not had time due to a lot of stuff happening and my cup runneth over, not being able to take time to get to the cinema, and by the time these movies were still on at some cinemas, it was too far to travel to,so, I bought the 2 movies for $40, from Sanity store, being Bohemian Rhapsody, and A star is born.

I liked both movies, Bohemian Rhapsody more. The hubby didn't like the ending of A star is born, said if he new it was going to be a shit sad ending, he would preferred to not have watched it.

I didn't mind it, I was warned it was sad, guess I forgot to tell hubby

Probably wouldn't watch it again, but Bohemian Rhapsody I would watch again.

All of those enormous cars. So fucking huge. Clever juxtaposition of the husband driving so carefully (i knew the dog shit meets tyre was coming but how could they not?) in and the wife later just tearing up the walls.

A very clever statement on her emotional distress. I really dug how they showed her as being flawed yet didn't paint her as a villain. We understood her fallibility and forgave her. You don't usually see such care taken of characters in main stream films. After yelling at and hitting her kids, the usual story line would have thrown the book at her.
